St. John's Wort

Quality: taking life as it comes without anxiety or worry.   Knowing that everything passes so see the sunny side of each situation.  Relax.

Disharmony: too much rushing around, worry and anxiety, being on edge, frayed nerves.

The essence of St. John’s Wort is its sunny nature which is uplifting and anti-depressant. It energises the solar plexus bringing balance and protectiveness to this area. It brings a strength of purpose and endeavor It is a relaxant of the nervous system. Helps you to laugh at yourself. It says ‘ its simple really, we’re all here together to help one another, let’s wear a smile and just get on with it. Cease worrying for it does no good. How can you worry if you are positive and balanced and recharged? Life is wonderful. We’re all just passing through in this form or that. We begin, flower, die and move on’. St. John’s Wort ‘s easygoing, relaxed ‘just slow down' approach is the perfect antidote to today’s hustle and bustle. It brings us down to earth, sorts us out, soothes, energises and uplifts.

Take this essence when: starting new projects, feeling depressed, your nerves feel on edge, or when seriousness has taken over and you have become overwrought with the stresses and worries of everyday life.

Affirmation: I am looking for the light side of every situation.  I am learning to go at a sensible pace through life.

Self help: Seek new ways of relaxation.   These could include uplifting movies, reading uplifting books or magazines, listening to cheerful and bright music, seeking the company of those who laugh easily.  Learn to breathe deeply and rhythmically.
